Blackmark

When a Hollywood production is going absolutely nowhere, you at least hope they get there fast, getting you out of your misery.... The story is a royal mess, going from one unclear spot to another which makes it impossible to find the viewing experience attractive. But the real showstopper here is the often rushed, awful acting which sucks the reality out of every scene before you even THINK of identifying with the characters! Just another waste of effort, capital and time....theirs....and ours! Advice; avoid when encountered, refuse to watch when invited or delete when accidentally downloaded...

This is a good story and had plenty of potential. However, I'm sorry to say it is badly let down by a poor script and acting

I am glad to see someone finally address this and the obvious role of John McCone head of the CIA. . I was only 14 when JFK was murdered but the moment I saw the Zapruder film I knew we were being lied to. If you watch the film, when he's shot with the kill shot, his head goes up and back. That just doesnt happen when shot from above and behind. He had to be shot from the front, likely from below. Interesting that there is a tunnel from the grassy knoll to a drain in the street just in front of where he was shot.

McCone hated Kennedy because he said he would ake the CIA apart into 1000 pieces. The CIA was closely affiliated with the Mafia since WWII when they shared info on Europe, The Mafia hated him because he let them down on the Bay of Pigs invasion where they planned to take back Cuba for their casinos. The Federal Reserve *the money) hated hem be cause he was going to dissokve them. So McCone had Carlos Marcella, the crime boss of New Orleans orchestrate the hit and then teamed up with J. Edgar Hoover, who hated Kennedy because he thoaughthe was soft on communism , to cover it up.

Was Johnson in on it? Where did it happen? Dallas Texas where LBJ had just been governor. Johnson hated Kennedy because Kennedy looked down on him as a redneck Texan.

So JFK pissed off too many people who kill people for a living and it cost him his life. Our country has never fully recoverded from that.

Need I say more? A masterpiece made by Picasso himself. The role of Timothy Daniels is keen, clever, and witty; At the same time, a puppet to the russian overlords. A perfect cat and mouse movie.

Agent Larson (Jon Briddell) interviews the dissident Anya Popolovski (Lana Gautier) to know the whereabouts of former CIA Agent Timothy Daniels (Kaiwi Lyman). She tells that in 1963, a Soviet missile is sent to the United States to begin a nuclear war. Daniels, who has been living in the Soviet Union for more than five years, succeeds in destroying the missile in the last minute. Nikita Khrushchev claims that his system was hacked and demands USA to withdraw missiles from Turkey in 72 hrs. Meanwhile, Daniel, who was assigned to assassinate Anya's father, Commander Alexi Popolovski (Corey MacIntosh), receives a counterorder to bring his family and he to the United States. However, the grey eminence Arthur Blackmark (Jeff Hatch), who is a military industrialist, is manipulating the situation and plans to assassinate of President Kennedy to stop the crisis.

"Blackmark" (2018) is a confusing thriller, with a flawed story of conspiracy theory and a messy screenplay. The plot does not develop any characters that are thrown on the screen without any explanation. Based on the exposed conspiracy theory, why would President Kennedy be showing off in Dallas while a crisis that could destroy the world is happening. The technology seems to be ahead of time (60's). The viewer is lost with several names without knowing who they are and their motives. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "A Marca Negra" ("The Black Mark")
